Disability Inclusion Action Plan
Consultation has concluded
Tell us what you think about our draft Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) by 7 June 2017.
Wingecarribee Shire Council is in the final stage of developing a Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) following extensive consultation earlier this year. People with a disability, their families and carers plus local service providers were all involved.
The DIAP has been developed to help improve access and inclusion for people who have a disability. Did we get it right?
We would like to hear your thoughts to ensure people with a disability have equal access to buildings, activities, facilities, services and information.
Take a look at the draft DIAP and then share your thoughts!
